it’s in your cosmetics it’s in the food
you eat the water you drink and the air
you breathe it’s probably already in
your body and it’s a real killer
welcome to watchmojo.com it we’re
counting down the top five deadly poison
facts to make you fear for your life now
we just need to figure out a delivery
device number five poison dart frogs are
small but lethal the world is full of
venomous creatures but poisonous animals
are pretty rare the difference
venom is kept in a special gland and
transmitted via a bite or sting or as
poison is inherent to a creatures body
affecting anything unlucky enough to eat
them or in the case of the arrow frogs
simply touch them hailing from South
America these small frogs subsist on a
diet of local insects which allows them
to build up extreme concentrations of
deadly batrachotoxin in captivity this
toxicity quickly dissipates but in the
wild they carry enough poison to kill as
many as 10 grown men which is why
indigenous communities historically dip
their blow darts and arrows in this
nasty frog juice number four chefs need
a license to serve fugu concentrate
concentrate that sous-chef who prepared
homers questionable fugu might have led
viewers to believe that anyone with a
knife can serve pufferfish if they’re
willing I shall be blunt we have reason
to believe you have eaten poison poison
but getting license to prepare and serve
this deadly delicacy is long arduous and
potentially fatal chefs have to complete
a three-year intensive program and even
then only about 35% pass why so strict
because one slip of the knife can
release the highly potent roto toxin
carried by the pufferfish
a lethal poison without an antidote as
the final part of the exam a chef must
prepare a serving of the dish and then
eat it themselves proving that they have
enough faith in their techniques to put
their own life on the line you know what
I’ll stick with Captain Highliner
do get your fork in highliners the best
fish you ever tasted number three Botox
is an extremely powerful neurotoxin by
total sum function Botox
Botox is a diluted form of botulinum is
it that deadly poison in your face
that’s making you smile like that
or are you just happy to see us Botox
it’s the most recognized name in
cosmetic surgery and has been helping
people fight the effects of aging since
the early 2000s I got Botox stupid
doctor talked me into it and now it’s
drifting botulinum toxin type A the
variety used in cosmetics it’s just one
of the eight known strains of botulinum
a terrifyingly potent neurotoxin with a
surprising number of medical
applications considering its lethal
potential in 2013 scientists discovered
a new strain of botulinum type H which
was deemed the most concentrated deadly
toxin in the world with even 13
billionth of a gram proving fatal number
two a lot of common ornamental plants
could kill you at the only wood castle
in England the Duchess of Northumberland
has a lethal poison garden where
visitors can learn about her wide
assortment of toxic plants and their
sinister histories but a garden doesn’t
need to be dedicated to poison to be
deadly oleander is one of the most
popular ornamental plants in the
southern states but ingesting any part
of the plant can prove fatal
om is poisonous
my people growing has seen on Breaking
Bad ricin can be harvested from castor
plants
another common ornamental it’s an
extremely effective poison it’s toxic in
small doses also fairly easy to overlook
during an autopsy
hey dozen castor beans concealed in your
chili could kill you if processed and
inhaling as little as 2 milligrams of it
is lethal
foxglove Easter lilies Larkspur all
common plants with serious toxicity
maybe you don’t stop to smell your
neighbor’s flowers especially if she’s a
duchess number one
Mithra date ism is the self
administering of poison to develop
immunities I spent the last few years
building up an immunity to arcane powder
so knowing just how deadly this world
can be what’s a person to do in order to
keep themselves safe really there’s only
one option start consuming low levels of
poisons secret agent style and build up
a tolerance just kidding do not do that
for those of you still with us
misra date ism the technique of self
administering poisons in order to
develop resistance to the toxins it’s
very much a real thing but it’s also
very dangerous and only works with
certain poisonous substances such as
arsenic Venom’s or non lethal irritants
such as poison ivy named after the Greek
King Mithridates EES who fearing
poisoning at the hand of his mother or
siblings employed the technique
Mithridates ism can also be used to
conquer common allergens like peanuts
with medical supervision of course so
what’s your favorite example of
Mithradates ISM from television or film
and can you think of any examples in pop
culture in which the poisons we
discussed today worked as particularly
potent plot devices
tasty fish for more ornamental talked
ends and delectable but deadly top fives
